The questionnaire consisted of four parts ; 1) Job diagnostic survey . 2) the short-form Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire. 3) information about life satisfaction , self esteem and religiosity. 4) information about employee characteristics . LISREL-7 procedures were used to test the hypotheses and the proposed model. The data supported the following hypothesized relationships : 1) between religiosity and life satisfaction . 2) between self esteem and life satisfaction. 3) between autonomy in the job and job satisfaction. The data did not support the following hypothesized relationship ; 1) between skill variety and job satisfaction, 2) between task identity and job satisfaction . 3) between feedback from job and job satisfaction. 4) between tasks significance and job satisfaction Also, data did not support the hypothesis of a reciprocal positive relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction , but demonstrated the occurrence of only causal positive influence from job satisfaction to life satisfaction instead . the positive causal influence from job satisfaction to life satisfaction supports the spillover theory.
